### How to Get the Rune in Dead Rails
To earn the Rune badge, you need to collect two hidden Jack O’ Lanterns. Here’s how to do it:
1. **Start a Match in Normal Mode**
The Jack O’ Lanterns spawn randomly inside houses during normal mode. Be prepared for some patience, as it may take a little while to find both.
2. **Fuel Up Your Train**
Since you will be traveling extensively, make sure your train is fully fueled.
3. **Search Every House Along the Route**
Stop at every house you come across and check inside. Jack O’ Lanterns are rare spawns, but typically you should be able to find both within one or two rounds of travel.
4. **Stock Up Before You Start**
Before embarking on this quest, ensure you have plenty of supplies, weapons, and ammo. Enemies will be hunting, so come prepared.
5. **Visit the Tesla Lab**
It’s recommended to visit the Tesla Lab once during your journey for a better chance at finding the Lanterns.

### How to Get the Key in Dead Rails
The Key is earned by completing the limited-time *Halloween Mode*, also known as **Edison’s Revenge**. Follow these steps:
1. **Select Edison’s Revenge Game Mode**
Choose this mode from the game’s menu to begin the challenge.
2. **Win the Match**
Simply winning Edison’s Revenge will reward you with the Key badge.
3. **Start with Limited Resources**
Players begin with only three coals and one turret, making the mode challenging, especially for beginners.
4. **Gather Gold and Convert to Coal**
Collect loads of gold to turn into coal—coal powers your train, and the more you have, the better your chances of survival.
5. **Travel 80,000 Meters**
Your goal is to cover an 80,000-meter distance. At the end, a powerful boss will spawn.
6. **Defeat the Boss**
To complete the mode and earn the Key, defeat the boss at the end of the journey.
**Tip:** Playing Edison’s Revenge with a partner will make the challenge easier and more enjoyable.
